[hpsdr] BeagleBoard - was (no subject)

[Berndt Josef Wulf]

G'day Sid,

I received my BeagleBoard about a week ago and have yet to setup a development 
environment. It comes 
standard with Angstrom installed.

The following may be of interest:

display.html

It shows how to interface various LDVS screens with a BeagleBoard. Using a 
suitable touch screen eliminates 
the need for a keyboard. Perfect for the construction of a man-pack radio 
based on Hermes!?

73, Berndt
